Abstract
In the summers of 2004, 2005 and 2006 the Spanish writer Juan Jose Millas published a series of articles that later appeared in three volumes titled Todo son preguntas, El ojo de la cerradura and Sombras sobre sombras. His essays are best understood as a meditation about press photos that inspire both questions and answers, expressing a poetics grounded in a spatial conception of the world that explicitly invokes the platonic image of the cave. The writer utilizes literary fiction as a tool to interpret reality —represented here in the series of photos— and, in so doing, problematizes the limits between truth and appearance. It is only by adding shadows to a world replete with simulacra, Millas seems to say, that we can make any sense of the world at all.
